Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I don't block ads on YouTube because I want to support the content creators.

I pay for YouTube, with a family plan, because I want to support them without looking at ads.

I do the same my friend, and I can confirm it is not a popular opinion at work. How dare you pay for a service you are enjoying

If YouTube would make a $15 a month family plan with one IP, I'd just pay for it.

I pay $17AUD a month for a family plan

I used to pay about $7 for an argentina based plan, but they locked out visa payments out of country without a bank account

Mee too. I also think it has a pretty reasonable ad experience, but the banner ads that pop up during a video on desktop are annoying.

How dare you, didn't you know that developers have so much money because what could they be doing with all that money you are contributing to them if they have all that extra money. You should just pirate their stuff instead to help them by taking big man YouTube.

Obviously sarcasm, btw. Support the things you like even if others think you should just not spend your money.
